The biggest problems with it, I believe, are that (1) it runs in
user-land, thus making each packet cross the userland/kernel boundary
twice more than it should and copying it several times too many, and
(2) it is poorly-to-not-at-all integrated with pppd, meaning it can't
leverage all the existing pppd machinery like the stuff behind the
demand and persist options.

I keep meaning to change those two characteristics, but so far haven't
gotten around to it - they look like a bit of work.

I don't mind at all; you're welcome to pass it along to anyone you
please.  Or if you prefer, you can direct people to me.  I can't recall
whether I've touched my copy since sending it to you...I last touched
my version Nov 18, according to the timestamps.  MD5 checksums:
